Morgan Hill, CA, December 2008 – The Husky CENTER LINE Weight Distribution and Sway Control System is the industry’s first self-centering sway control system providing drivers with complete confidence during their towing experience. Compression cylinder action and torsion spring bars work together to distribute weight and oppose trailer sway before it begins, keeping a trailer straight, on center, during all driving conditions.

Current “passive” sway control towing systems rely on clamping to provide static friction that reduces, but does not eliminate trailer sway. Such systems require adjustment to maintain friction and do not promote centering of the trailer behind the tow vehicle.

The Center Line system’s patent pending technology creates centering forces that work against the tendency to sway, self-centering the trailer. The system can be used in all driving and weather conditions including backing-up. The “Easy Adjust” head alignment systems and the streamlined sturdy bracket design allow quick and easy set-up at time of installation. The CENTER LINE system comes in three models for use with Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) up to 14,000 lbs and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Husky Towing Products is committed to continually providing innovative products to its customers. The new CENTER LINE system represents the next generation in sway control technology.

Morgan Hill, CA, December 2007 – Husky Towing Products introduces a new brake controller to its line of brake control products. The next generation Siberian has all of the basic function of Husky’s Excursion controller but takes braking control to the next level with enhanced features and a sleek new styling. The new features include User Presets, exclusive Pressure Sensitive Manual Braking, Enhanced Display graphics, and Soft-touch Controls.

The User Preset feature allows drivers to save their brake controller settings (Load Level and Output Gain) to one of four memory positions. The preset function is particularly convenient when: (1) the vehicle/trailer has multiple operators who prefer slightly different settings; (2) the operator has multiple trailers; (3) the operator tows a trailer that requires different settings when it is loaded/unloaded; (4) the operator encounters any combination of these scenarios.

The exclusive Pressure Sensitive Switch for manual trailer brake activation replaces the manual sliding lever common to other controllers. It allows the operator more finite control over the power being applied to the trailer brakes. The harder the button is pushed, the more power is applied.

An Enhanced Display Panel has been designed to support the Siberian’s advanced functions. Four green LED lights indicate the operator’s preset selections while a segmented LED shows the pressure being applied by the manual braking switch.

Two Soft-touch Controls replace a rotary knob to control Output Gain adjustments for Gain Increase (+) and for Gain Decrease (-).

The sleek compact styling of the Siberian makes it easily mounted to more locations inside the vehicle. It sports an integrated harness connector within its case for added plug-and-play convenience. A mating harness is also supplied with the controller, as are a custom slide-in mounting bracket, hardware and easy-to-follow installation instructions. A 30-amp circuit breaker (purchased separately), may be required for some vehicles.

Inherent to the new Siberian controller are technologies that made Husky’s original Excursion popular among trailer operators, including patented dual-axis accelerometer technology, which continually recognizes varying road terrain changes and senses the vehicle’s rate of deceleration to apply the correct amount of braking force at precise intervals for a smooth and seamless stop.

“Husky Towing Products is committed to continually providing innovative products to our customers,” says Bryan Fletcher, Senior VP, Husky Towing Products. “With our new Siberian brake controller we feel that we have a product that represents trailer braking at its finest.”

Designed for light- to heavy-duty applications (one to four axle trailers) with 2, 4, 6 or 8 brake systems, the Siberian features four easily adjustable power level settings. Each level increases the initial power curve to the trailer brakes, making the controller fully adjustable for progressively heavier loads.

The new Siberian also incorporates polarity protection, which means that the control will not be destroyed in the event the power and ground wires are connected backwards. The unit creates no output interference with vehicle electrical systems, cruise control systems or anti-lock brakes. The new Siberian is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Morgan Hill, CA, May 2007 – Husky Towing Products introduces the Husky Stow-a-Fifth Wheel. The Stow-A-Fifth Wheel allows an easy interchange from a Husky Stowa-Gooseneck hitch to a fifth wheel hitch.

The Husky Stow-a-Fifth Wheel may require both the Adapter plus a Bed Support Kit, which is ordered separately for some applications.

“The Husky Stow-a-Fifth Wheel allows you the flexibility to tow two different style trailers, gooseneck and fifth wheel, from the same vehicle. They can change from towing a gooseneck trailer to towing a fifth wheel trailer in minutes,” says Bryan Fletcher, General Manager. “And our Husky EZ Roller System allows the Stow-a-Fifth Wheel to be used on short-bed pick-up trucks. It’s the first fifth wheel adapter designed to do so.
